I'm a People

Now if I was a monkey, a-workin' for a livin'

I'd be a-gettin' instead of a-givin'

A-hangin' by my tail, a-waitin' for the dinner bell

Puttin' humans onEvery day them fools rush in

And lay down the cash and watch me grin

I put 'em all on, I'd hum a little song

An' watch 'em all go tee-heeBut I spell a P, a little bitty E

Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh, and a little round O

Now you add another P, a big skinny L

There's a-one more E an' you got a people that looks like meNow a monkey don't have to go down town

An' ask for a job an' get turned down, I'm mad at me

I could smash me

'Cause I'm a peopleNow, a monkey don't have to shoot an' speak

All he do is scratch his fleas

Oh me, what luxury

But I'm a peopleNow I spell a P, a little bitty E

Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh, and a little round O

Now you add another P, a big skinny L

There's a-one more E an' you got a creature that looks like meNow if someone knocked on my door today

There'd be a little sign says, "gone away"

Down to the zoo, diggin' you know who

'Cause I'm a peopleNow I spell a P, a little bitty E

Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh, and a little round O

Now you add another P, a big skinny L

There's a-one more E an' you got a creature that looks like me
